Prior to Vista, you could just snatch the video memory, and re-encode the data back to whatever format you were happy with. Vista, however, will stop you doing that (and presumably so will windows 7)
This happened in Australia after a massacre which triggered drastic Gun law legislation changes. It put many paint ball places out of business. They are starting to re-appear now though. (Just wait for the next massacre though.)
From at least one of the Australian tragedies, it can be deduced that military training is more of an issue than paint ball... I wonder what an examination in one of the most violent gun cultures on earth would show?
The thing about money is that it gives you time... in the future. Most buyout deals tend to indenture the key staff for 1..2 years while the business either spools up, or down. So the worst case is that you spend 2 years figuring out how to structure your next attempt.
I also find it hard to believe your not really interested in the money, otherwise, why would you have started your own business in the first place?
Or a bunch of politicians "living in isolation" in Washington. (See, as soon as their elected, their brains magically shrink, generally in inverse proportion to their wealth!)
This info is old hat... IBM proposed a 60 GHz system several years ago. 60 GHz does not penetrate walls, so each room that requred coverage had a transceiver in the ceiling.
Bastard... deliberately putting "321.688974 microhertz per smoot" knowing that the only reference would end up being circular. (Perhaps the Wolfram search engine would have been better!)
If the USA is such a enlightened nation, why is it that they spend the MOST money of any nation in the world on their military. It is ten times the amount spent by any other country. (It is curious that the second highest spender happens to be Saudi Arabia.)
I imagine this is some sort of Irish joke... It clearly does not encompass distribution of video via the internet.
A "TV" signal in the given context would amount to the free to air (IE: actually overpaid through advertising) signal deliberately transmitted via "channels" in the VHF or UHF spectrum. This used to be easily described as Video that negatively modulates a carrier to produce an AM signal at VHF or UHF, with a FM carrier offset from said carrier by several MHz.
Unfortunately "digital" TV now requires a different (and more complex) description. (Its OFDM modulated, with several "channels all incorporated with the one channel.)
While it was a kit, there was already a basic available for it. MITS basic, a collaboration of dozens of different programmers (including Bill Gates).
PC does not mean something you can buy ready made off the shelf, it just means personal, IE: cheap enough that anyone who had the interest in computers could afford one!
I saw Altair Serial Number 8 being tuned to work (Yes, its two phase clock generatore was difficult to get working), and the first serious program it ran was MITS basic, input through a KSR33 terminal. So, try to learn something before sticking your foot in your mouth, mr commodore64. I also remember several other machines that are contemporary to the Apple II, but way more expensive.
Yes, but we owe AC power, its generation, etc to Tesla. He also kicked Edison's arse (A good thing IMHO). It should be remembered that Edison was a well known patent troll of the late 19th century, who patented many of his employee's inventions under his own name.
What could be more carbon neutral than the CARBON toner already in the cartridge? Why would SOY based toner be any greener?
Have I missed something here? Soy is the vegetarian meat, but as such is no greener than other forms of carbon. (Or is toner made from fried/burnt animals...
TRS80 and Apple II were 8 bit machines... I would also argue the point about it being the "first" game written for a 16 bit machine.
First game I saw on an 8 bit machine was "electric fence" which ran on an Altair. Pretty sure the first game on a 16 bit machine would have have been written in BASIC.
Sure am amazed about some of these claims, and the fact that halfwits end up beleiving them
I would have to agree that forums are a very poor way of disseminating information/help. One of the issues is that lazy bastards will not use search to find the data that has already been published on their "problem". The second is that many threads tend to contain 2% info, the rest being useless, generally off topic, drivel, or worse, the 2% data is wrong! (H'mm, sounds just like Slashdot...)
Now imagine this extended to a "community". Sounds like a recipe for disaster to me. I am sure that 100 people with an IQ of 60 doesn't equal one person with an IQ of 6000...
If you want something done PROPERLY do it yourself!
I did say old Soviet Russia specifically to fend off comments like yours. It implies all the countries that were originally associated with that political block.
It is obviously a backward step for the russians to "roll their own" OS. This would (in the long run) stop the training that many spammers/phishers/botnet/virus/trojan/etc writers get, as its fairly obvious that a high percentage of those types of programs are actually written somewhere in the old Soviet block. It would also reduce the amount of trained personel that have attempted access to "sensitive" western computers, putting the Military in a bind should relations with the west deteriorate much further.
Linux needs some sort of bios to boot. With no code at all, the computer is useless! Having said that, Linux does not require the MEGA-BIOS that most PC's come equiped with in this day and age. Even the original PC BIOS is overkill. You only need some code to initialise basic things like timers, uarts, ethernet controllers, etc, some IPL code for the Disk/Flash, and if you want to be really nice, a simple text mode to show the initial boot progress.
Writing a bios specifically to boot straight into Linux is relatively straight forward, and one benefit is that the machine boot up time is minmised. Watching an X86 machine boot into linux when running a minimal BIOS is a gratifyingly fast experince!
Audio "1 bit" converters are Delta-Sigma converters, and work internally at very much higher clock rates than the configured sample rate would imply (16 bit accuracy converter clocks in the 10's of MHz for 32..48 kilobit sample rates). Video needs to be sampled at much higher rates. Good old PAL/NTSC generally is sampled at approx 12.5 to 13.5 MHz minimum, and often much faster. The Sigma-delta converter for this would need to run in the GHz range to provide 8..10 bits of accuracy per pixel. This would consume a LOT of power!
H'mm... apart from this thread on Star Trek being hijacked for Star Wars dreck (Seriously, what nerd doesn't know that Parsec is a unit of distance, not time as used in the original Star Wars Science fantasy)...
Bloody Klingon is just a load of crap that makes me cringe when I hear it. If you really were serious about Star Blek, you would be aware of how the Klingons were originally portrayed... (Looked more like Mongolians or Fu Manchu than Maori warriors wearing their cricket boxes on their heads...)
I think you missed the point... You shouldn't be using quicksort... You should in fact have used a better database type, not some flat structure.
Have to say that I have used most of the techniques mentioned in the article, however, some of the article was a bit strange. Like where the person talks about calling into the windows API, and perhaps using undocumented API calls that broke when windows versions changed. It was fairly normal for any decent programmer to use the standard API calls to vastly speed up visual basic. How anyone even new about undocumented calls is beyond me though. More likely the windows API calls were not rolled back correctly, the result was that it might work in one version of windows, but would crash badly on another. (Windows API's are much trickier than many newby programmers think!)
Surely, the use of turnitin is being used by lazy teachers trying to avoid actually reading the work turned in by students. Imagine the dreary task of reading hundreds of (mostly) poorly written essays on some dry and essentially unimportant aspect of history. No wonder so many teachers are "eccentric" types.
I would have said the same thing. However, I have not bothered to decipher the patents in question, so I could be wrong. Having said that, it should be said that the first versions of MSDOS were effectively clones of CP/M. So much so that it was easy to get CP/M programs running on IBM PC's equiped with v20 processors. (Took myself and another 24 hours to write appropriate code to trap the vector and redirect through the 8086 MSDOS kernel.)

I cannot see why this was modded offtopic. Its plainly correct. It is absolutely CERTAIN that all 100,000 infected machines are running windoz.

He's been entombed by cryptonite. He will be back ... in tales from the crypt!

Conservatives don't like the destruction of embryos, period.
But they don't mind destroying 100's of thousands of foreign nationals at all!
